Chinese New Year (CNY) is one of the most celebrated festivals in Singapore, a time when family and friends come together to usher in prosperity, happiness, and good fortune.
The vibrant festivities are accompanied by a mouthwatering array of traditional foods, each carrying deep cultural significance.
At JU Signatures, we’re passionate about keeping these traditions alive with our specially crafted dishes and snacks.
Here’s how you can enjoy traditional Chinese New Year foods like a true Singaporean.
1. Toss to Prosperity with Yu Sheng
No Chinese New Year celebration in Singapore is complete without Yu Sheng, also known as the prosperity toss.
This colourful dish features thinly sliced raw fish, shredded vegetables, and a mix of sweet and tangy sauces.
The ritual involves tossing the ingredients high in the air while shouting auspicious phrases like “Huat ah!” (“Prosperity!”) to invite good luck for the year ahead.
At JU Signatures, our ‘Reunion’ Abalone Yu Sheng offers a luxurious take on this beloved tradition, combining premium ingredients with vibrant flavours.
2. Indulge in Hearty Reunion Dinners
Reunion dinners are a cornerstone of CNY celebrations, bringing families together for a sumptuous feast.
In Singapore, traditional dishes like Steamed Fish (symbolising abundance), Braised Abalone (representing wealth), and Roast Duck are popular choices.
At JU Signatures, we’ve curated festive delights to enhance your table:
- Prosperity Carrot Cake: A savoury and auspicious addition to your reunion dinner.
3. Crunch on Festive Snacks
Singaporeans love their snacks, and Chinese New Year is the perfect excuse to indulge.
JU Signatures offers crispy and addictive options like our Salted Egg Fried Fish Skin, which pairs perfectly with festive drinks, and Fried Walnut, a nutty, crunchy treat that’s ideal for sharing with guests.
4. Savour Sweet Endings
No celebration is complete without desserts.
In Singapore, traditional sweets like Nian Gao (sticky rice cake) take centre stage. At JU Signatures, we’ve elevated these classics with our:
- Koi Fish Nian Gao: A beautifully crafted sticky rice cake that’s almost too pretty to eat.
These desserts are not only delicious but also make for stunning centrepieces on your festive table.
